His task is to supervise the writing of the Positio, a complete biography containing the evidence for or against the candidate. When completed the Positio is judged by the Congregation’s consultors, and then by a panel of theologians, whose vote determines whether the Positio is presented to the Cardinals of the Congregation for their vote. If the Cardinals approve, the Cause goes to the Pope, whose positive judgment on the Heroic Virtues of the Servant of God permits the person to be called Venerable. This Decree on the Heroic Virtues, together with a Decree approving a Miracle, permits the person’s Beatification.<\/p>\n On March 7, 2006,<\/strong> three days after the 59th anniversary of Luisa\u2019s passage to Heaven, Luisa\u2019s cause was officially opened in Rome.

\n Matthew 6: 7 – 15<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nthey will be heard for their many words.
\n8 \u00a0 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
\n9 \u00a0 Pray then like this: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
\n10 \u00a0\u00a0Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as It is in heaven.<\/strong><\/span>
\n11 \u00a0 Give us this day our daily bread;
\n12 \u00a0 And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors;
\n13 \u00a0 And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
\n14 \u00a0 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you;
\n15 \u00a0 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
\ntrespasses.<\/p>\n
